Detailed Implementation

[0026] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model, the drawings used in the embodiments will be briefly introduced below. Obviously, the drawings described below are some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.

[0027] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 This utility model provides a greenhouse roller shutter rod locking device 11, which is used to lock or release the roller shutter rod 13 at the lower end of straw mat, thermal insulation blanket or shade net, and includes a locking housing 111, a locking mechanism 112 and a pressure sensing component 113.

[0028] The locking housing 111 is provided with a roller shutter rod connection port 1111. The locking housing 111 is fixedly installed on both sides of the front end of the greenhouse, and the installation position is such that the roller shutter rod 13 of the roller shutter device 12 can enter the roller shutter rod connection port 1111 when it is lowered to the bottom of the greenhouse. The locking mechanism 112 is fixedly installed in the locking housing 111 and electrically connected to the power supply. The pressure sensing component 113 is fixedly installed in the locking housing 111, located below the roller shutter rod connection port 1111. The pressure sensing component 113 is electrically connected to the locking mechanism 112 and is used to monitor pressure information in real time, so as to send the pressure signal generated when it is pressed by the roller shutter rod 13 to the locking mechanism 112. The locking mechanism 112 is used to lock the roller shutter rod 13 in the roller shutter rod connection port 1111 when it receives the pressure signal, and to release the roller shutter rod when the pressure signal disappears.

[0029] In this embodiment, the greenhouse roller shutter rod locking device 11 is particularly suitable for locking the roller shutter rod 13 of the self-propelled roller shutter machine on the greenhouse surface. For the rear roller shutter machine, it is necessary to set the roller shutter rod 13 (crossbar) at the lower end of the straw mat, insulation blanket or shade net. This achieves the fixation of the lower end of the straw mat, insulation blanket or shade net on the greenhouse, effectively solving the problem that the lower end of the straw mat, insulation blanket or shade net is easily blown away or even blown off by the wind, which leads to damage to the main body, or even collision with the surface of the greenhouse, causing the greenhouse to crack.

[0030] Furthermore, the locking mechanism 112 includes a locking rod 1121 and a drive module 1122. The drive module 1122 is fixedly installed in the locking housing 111 and electrically connected to a power source. One end of the locking rod 1121 is connected to the drive module 1122 for transmission, and the other end is a free end, so that the locking rod 1121 can be driven by the drive module 1122 to extend out of or retract from the locking housing 111.

[0031] In this embodiment, the drive module 1122 is a push rod motor, which has a simple structure and is easy to install.

[0032] In another embodiment, the drive module 1122 can also be a hydraulic cylinder, a pneumatic cylinder, or a motor. Hydraulic cylinder drives offer high output force and good control performance, making them suitable for applications requiring significant thrust. Pneumatic cylinder drives, with their fast response, simple structure, and easy maintenance, are suitable for environments with frequent operation. Motor drives, with their precise control and long lifespan, are suitable for applications requiring precise position control. By selecting a suitable drive module 1122, the extension and retraction speeds of the locking lever 1121 can be adjusted according to actual needs, thereby meeting the requirements under different working conditions.

[0033] Furthermore, the locking housing 111 has a cubic structure. One end of the locking housing 111 is provided with a roller shutter rod connection port 1111 that extends through the side. One side of the roller shutter rod connection port 1111 is provided with a locking rod outlet 1112, and the other side is provided with a locking rod insertion port 1113.

[0034] In this embodiment, the placement of the insertion and outlet of the roller shutter rod 13 ensures that the roller shutter rod 13 is stable and easy to operate within the locking housing 111. Through this structural design, the locking device of the roller shutter rod 13 can effectively fix the roller shutter rod 13 and prevent it from shifting under the action of wind or other external forces, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the greenhouse roller shutter system 10.

[0035] Furthermore, a fixing plate 1115 is provided at the bottom of the locking housing 111 to fix the locking housing 111 to the ground by bolts.

[0036] In this embodiment, a concrete foundation is buried in the ground, and the locking housing 111 is securely fixed to both sides of the front end of the greenhouse using bolts.

[0037] Furthermore, the greenhouse roller shutter rod locking device 11 also includes a connecting plate 114, one end of which is rotatably mounted on the locking housing 111, and the other end is a free end, so as to overlap the greenhouse and guide the roller shutter rod 13 to the connecting port.

[0038] Furthermore, a through hole 1114 is also provided on the bottom surface of the roller shutter rod connection port 1111. The pressure sensing component 113 includes a sensing mechanism 1131 and a pressure regulating mechanism 1132. The sensing mechanism 1131 is fixedly installed below the roller shutter rod connection port 1111 and is electrically connected to the drive module 1122. When the roller shutter rod 13 is pressed, the locking mechanism 112 is controlled to lock the roller shutter rod 13 in the roller shutter rod connection port 1111, or when the roller shutter rod 13 is no longer pressed, the locking mechanism 112 is controlled to release the roller shutter rod 13. The pressure regulating mechanism 1132 is installed above the sensing mechanism 1131 to adjust the pressure threshold of the sensing mechanism 1131 and avoid accidental activation.

[0039] In this embodiment, the sensing mechanism 1131 is a limit switch. When the roller shutter rod 13 moves to a predetermined position, the limit switch is triggered, thereby sending a signal to the drive module 1122. After receiving the signal, the drive module 1122 locks the roller shutter rod 13.

[0040] Furthermore, the pressure regulating mechanism 1132 includes a pressure plate 11321, a spring 11323, and a nut 11324. The pressure plate 11321 is provided with two guide posts 11322, and the guide posts 11322 are provided with threads. The guide posts 11322 pass through the through hole 1114, so that the pressure plate 11321 is movably mounted above the sensing mechanism 1131. The spring 11323 passes through the guide post 11322, one end is fixed to the locking housing 111, and the other end presses against the nut 11324. The nut 11324 is engaged with the guide post 11322 through threads. The pressure threshold of the sensing mechanism 1131 is adjusted by rotating the nut 11324.

[0041] Furthermore, the greenhouse roller shutter locking device 11 also includes a power supply device to supply power to the continuing drive module 1122 in the event of a short circuit.

[0042] In this embodiment, the power supply device includes one or more battery packs designed to automatically switch in the event of a main power failure, ensuring the continuous operation of the locking device. Furthermore, the power supply device is equipped with a charging circuit to charge the battery packs while the main power supply is operating normally, maintaining sufficient battery charge. To improve system reliability, the power supply device may also include safety functions such as overcharge protection, over-discharge protection, and short-circuit protection, ensuring that the system can safely disconnect the power supply under any abnormal circumstances, preventing equipment damage or safety accidents.

[0043] Of course, in order to ensure the stability and durability of the greenhouse curtain rod locking device 11, the locking device is made of corrosion-resistant materials and is designed with a waterproof and dustproof structure to adapt to the special working environment of the greenhouse.

[0044] This utility model also provides a roller shutter system 10, including a roller shutter device 12 and two of the above-mentioned roller shutter rod locking devices 11 for greenhouses. The roller shutter device 12 is fixedly installed on the greenhouse and is used to roll up or release the straw mat, insulation blanket or shade net. The roller shutter rod locking devices 11 for greenhouses are fixedly installed on both sides of the front end of the greenhouse and are used to lock or release the roller shutter rod 13 fixedly installed at the lower end of the straw mat, insulation blanket or shade net.

[0045] Furthermore, both the roller shutter device 12 and the greenhouse roller shutter rod locking device 11 are equipped with control modules, and the two are connected in communication. The control modules are used to activate the greenhouse roller shutter rod locking device 11 after the roller shutter device 12 is activated, so as to prevent the greenhouse roller shutter rod locking device 11 from releasing the roller shutter rod 13 when the roller shutter device 12 is not activated.

[0046] In this invention, the lower end of the roller shutter rod 13 of the straw mat, thermal blanket, or shade net is guided to the roller shutter rod connection port 1111 via the connecting plate 114 and falls into the connection port 1111. Under the action of gravity, the roller shutter rod 13 presses against the pressure plate 11321, causing it to move downwards and further press against the sensing mechanism 1131. The sensing mechanism 1131 is then triggered, sending a signal to the drive module 1122. The drive module 1122 receives the signal. The rear drive locking lever 1121 extends and inserts into the locking lever socket 1113 to lock the roller shutter rod 13 in the roller shutter rod connector 1111; conversely, when the roller shutter rod 13 is pulled upward, the roller shutter rod 13 disengages from the sensing mechanism 1131, the sensing mechanism 1131 resets and sends a signal to the drive module 1122, then the drive module 1122 starts, driving the locking lever 1121 to retract from the locking lever socket 1113 to release the roller shutter rod 13.

[0047] The modules or units in the device of this utility model embodiment can be merged, divided, and deleted according to actual needs. The above-disclosed embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can understand that implementing all or part of the processes of the above embodiments and making equivalent changes according to the claims of this utility model still fall within the scope of this utility model.
